I think your statements summed it all up. For the restricted caucus limited only to the Latins and those in communion with the Pope of Rome, the proper designation would be Roman Catholic Caucus. Claiming that "Catholic" represents the Churches in communion with the Pope of Rome is simply incorrect. There is one Catholic Church based on the apostolic authority established by the Aposotolic succession of her bishops and the valid sacraments, of which there are the particular Orthodox Catholic Churches (official titles) and churches in Communion with the Latin Bishop of Rome, aka the Pope of Rome.

Correct. I wish that we could ensure that our folks are properly instructed, so that the wandering gypsies would have less success dividing and conquering.
